Andrew Darraugh Wins.Listen at 10:00 mark for the YEAH! Boonville Vintage Adirondack Cup Sunday 2-3-19.Pretzel I believe blew a belt while in the lead.
I raced USSA and there were 5 or 6 modified classes. Some of the Sno Jets were only like 18 inches to 24 from the ground to the handle bars, two stroke and bad assed. Engine stuck up out of the hood like a damn blower on a drag car. They would take off from a dead stop and the skis wouldn't touch the ground until they let off for the corner. The big sponsored teams from Canada (ski do) and Arctic Cat were not easy to beat. They had the best of everything.
I was there for this race. In 1973, fad took us three snowmobile racing teenagers to Boonville. Who raced that year? Oh, guys like Bob Eastman, Larry Coltom, Jim Adema; Gilles Villeneuve, Kenny Young, Jim Sul and Yvon Duhamel. Ah, memories.
This is what sucks sometimes. Sitting there idling for 5 minutes. These heat up so quickly, and can load up with fuel. They're not meant to idle for long.
Raced in Boonville back in 72-or 73 with my El Tigre. The following year, Mercury came out with the Sno Twister and my sled was obsolete. What a blast that winter was.
My cousin won the Traverse City , Mi 250 in the early 70’s and I believe placed in the top 3 at the Sault Ste Marie 500 . I can’t imagine riding those sleds for that many miles. Kinda like riding a hard tail Harley 😵💫😵💫😵💫
@@donaldthomas7753 , I had 1970 Sno-Jet , 292…28 HP Twin. Seems like I remember that thing would run about 50 mph which to me was flying. I’d love to ride one of today’s sleds they must be awesome. But I moved south many many years ago so unless I go up north on vacation in the winter I’ll probably never get a chance…I go up in the summer but the winter..🥶🥶🥶🥶 no thanks 😂😂😂
'71 - '72 were great years to be in Boonville: the sanctioned speed runs at the airport; torchlight parade on Main Street; races at the fairgrounds. We continued to go each year through '76, but those first two years for me were the best!
Yeah the start of this race is ridiculous. So bad, the guy on the Polaris roughly 2 from the left, got left at the line asleep. A couple of those sleds should have pulled off the track and ate a couple hot dogs.
So what were the top speeds in this race? 70mph? Seems like the races I watched as a kid were a whole lot faster than these. Beautiful sleds though. They sound so sexy.
So how long do we have to watch sleds getting lined up because some unprepared riders taillight doesn't work. What a waste of time. If I were racing I would be pissed.
That's part of racing.Yes it seemed very disorganized.Why let all the sleds out of the pits and allow them to line up knowing that there was 1 not ready?Games are played sometimes though.Sleds should have stayed on the track just after exiting the pits until ALL sleds were on the track and ready and then proceed to the start line.

Boy that brings back some memories
I ran into a guy I didn't see for about 40 years, Dennis Broetzman. He won the world championship in Eagle River years back. He had some stories.
OMG that was awesome thanks
Dang wanted to see some racing got a bunch of starting line OMG
I'd like to see one of those modern sleds, you know the 650 lb ones, try and keep up. Probably tip over in turn one, they're so high.
The winner wears a 'Team Arctic Cat' but drove a Polaris LOL
I was there for this race.
As the world turns.
Meanwhile the sleds are all overheating and loading up from sitting there for a ridiculous amount of time.
Next.
seems sometimes the last guys are a little slow to line up.On purpose?
@@srfracing596 Exactly dirty trick always was I rode a 650 exterminator super mod unacceptable starting line race
Yeah the start of this race is ridiculous. So bad, the guy on the Polaris roughly 2 from the left, got left at the line asleep. A couple of those sleds should have pulled off the track and ate a couple hot dogs.
Stands were just packed !
Good crowd sometimes.
Back in the day. These sleds had 40 - 50 horsepower? How much are they running now?
1978 was 340 @95 hp. Fyi 1994 780 was 113. Dyno
The 440 liquids and free-airs were in the 80-100hp range. Shit my 1980 377 fan is rated at 40 from the factory.
these sleds probably had 90 plus horse power in the day, now with modern upgrades i bet 115 or so , call olav aaen if you dare
I raced in the 70's and my sled was 24 HP. Many come stock out of the box with 100 hp. Insane!
I had to look at a world map to realize that NY state is actually on canadian border 😅😅Never thought they had snow that much.
So what were the top speeds in this race? 70mph? Seems like the races I watched as a kid were a whole lot faster than these. Beautiful sleds though. They sound so sexy.
90's
Bream bream bream .
SRF racing, where you located?

Don't you get DQ'd without a working tail light?
2 minutes to fix it
Thanks for the video, but you might consider editing out 10 minutes of nothing at the start/finish line....
Shut up just skip ahead it’s not hard you Karen.
I want you
@Hayden thanks! I never considered doing that... great advice from a Troll
@@tyrsafray4640 YOU'RE GORGEOUS

Isthat a ssr Yamaha
no just a hood that looks close.
So how long do we have to watch sleds getting lined up because some unprepared riders taillight doesn't work. What a waste of time. If I were racing I would be pissed.
Should have been checked leaving the pits.
Skip to 4:20 .mins.....Why having the audience watching 4.20mins. of sleds staged on a starting line going NOWHERE ???.....Trim that please.
